the it lists – fashion & trend blog

Is there such thing as a fashionable laptop?

Most would say of course!  The Mac!  But amazing as they are, does the sleek polished appearance count as a fashion statement or is it simply a trend?

In an attempt to win over the PC fashionista’s in their market, Hewlett-Packard teamed up with Vivienne Tam to make a limited edition laptop that will make you want to trade your apple for a peony.

The peony design is what really stood out in Tam’s Spring 2009 collection and is what makes the HP Mini Vivienne Tam edition a true statement piece.  (And really isn’t that what fashion is all about, making a statement?)  This notebook has a 10.1″ display, weighs in at only 2.45lbs and is merely 1″ thick.  It retails for $699.00USD which will also get you a matching Vivienne Tam sleeve or you could opt for the exclusive tech-chic bundle which includes a matching Vivienne Tam scarf and tote for $899.00USD.

Not to be outdone by the big boys in the emerging trend of high-end designer doing a mid to low-end line (who didn’t gasp when they found out Alexander McQueen was doing a line for Target), Payless has also added some heavy hitters to their roster.

The limited edition summer 2009  Payless collections will feature designs by  alice + olivia, not to mention some other great appearances from Abaete, and Lela Rose.

Now I personally have never bought too hard into the Payless designer lines with the exception of a few pieces, but the alice + olivia collection is quite simply put – on point.

In true alice + olivia fashion the wedge ran rampant throughout the collection along with platform sandals, chuck taylor inspired sneakers and they even did some really trendy hobo bags and clutches.

All items ran under $40 and the best part is… you would never even know it.

The iconic unisex fragrance ck one by Calvin Klein has relaunched with a special limited edition fragrance bottle packaged with an mP3 speaker - and it is now available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Universal Scent: CK One “we are one collection” are limited edition bottles of one of the ‘original’ shared fragrance scents – works for you or for him. CK One is a naturally clean and universal scent with a refreshing point of view with a citrusy blast.

Universal Language: music  Any MP3 player can fit into this – you just plug it in the earpiece).

Unity Message: “we are one,” is handwritten in a bunch of languages in silver on the CK One bottle. Nice.
